Stater Plug

Stater Plug
It's cleaned up now so I can look at it again after a couple rides, but it looks like I have a leak around the stater plug. I was curious if any of you have had a leak here and if so, did you replace the plug? I'm thinking I am going to first try putting some black RTV around it. Seems that would seal it up??

Gotcha... kind of what I thought... did you use anything in-particular to clean it up good? I was just thinking break cleaner.

Just did this fix about a month ago with great results. I hosed the area down with brake cleaner and used permatex RTV gasket maker. make sure you wiggle the plug around and use a screw driver to get the sealer under the edges of the plug and let dry over night.

Ok, ya I ordered the Loctite Black RTV, but same thing. But that was exactly my plan was clean with brake cleaner. I see somebody else said pull the primary and do it from the inside. Seems like overkill to me. I'll do the outside as that is what everyone else seems to have done with great success.

:-) True True... maybe overkill was the wrong choice of words lol. I'll try the outside approach first, reading some other posts and this one, seems to address this issue and some on other posts have said, working great after 20K + miles...
